KEEN JOINS NORTE YOUTH CYCLING FOR EL BARRIO BIKE FIX

We're all about healthy, active families and ways to reduce our impact on the world. There's no better solution to both of those issues than the bicycle. If you've worked with Keen before, you know we love to pedal. Whether it's around town, on the trails or in a race, we know the value of riding and what it does for ourselves, our families, and our community.

That's why we're excited to join Traverse City's youth cycling organization, Norte, for August 15's El Barrio Bike Fix. For most Tuesdays throughout the summer, Norte is inviting everyone in the community to stop by and use the Clubhouse's tools, bike stands, and resources to work on their bike. Norte sees the opportunity as a way to empower riders of all abilities and interests to understand their bike, fix it on their own, and understand that these are really quite simple machines when you look at them.

Keen will be on hand to offer additional help and instruction on everything from fixing a flat, cleaning your drivetrain, and adjusting brakes and derailleurs. Think of it as getting a chance to hop on a bike stand and learn how to make those simple repairs with the help of your local bike shop, but without stepping on anyone's toes.

You can join us at the El Barrio Bike Fix on Tuesday, August 15 from 5-7 at the Norte Clubhouse, which is located on the south end of the Civic Center right in Traverse City. Feel free to RSVP here on the Facebook event page to stay connected!
